Shri Chakreshwari Devi is revered in Jain Dharma as the Yakshini of Bhagwan Rishabhdev, the first Tirthankar. She is worshipped as a protective and devotional deity in Jain tradition.

Story of Shri Chakreshwari Devi

According to Jain tradition, Chakreshwari Devi was deeply devoted to Bhagwan Rishabhdev. She is called Chakreshwari because she is associated with the chakra symbol, and she is believed to protect devotees who have firm faith in the Tirthankar and follow the path of dharma.

When Bhagwan Rishabhdev renounced the world and began his spiritual journey, many divine beings honored his greatness. Chakreshwari Devi became one of the most devoted guardian deities, serving the Tirthankar and protecting sincere devotees from obstacles and dangers.

She is often shown seated on a Garuda or associated with the chakra, symbolizing speed, protection, and power. In Jain worship, she is remembered not as a creator or giver of worldly boons, but as a guardian who supports devotion, purity, and right conduct.
